Gujba

Gujba. This meteorite fell
on April 3rd, 1984 in Yobe, Nigeria. A large conical stone was seen
to fall and was smashed up by the villagers. Only about 5 kilos has
been recovered. Gujba is classified as a Bencubbinite. This is a type
of chondrite, related to the carbonaceous chondrites, but with chondrules
of metal! Very little is known about them and Gujba is the first
witnessed fall from this rare class of meteorites. This is without a
doubt the strangest meteorite I have ever seen. This is the last piece
of this meteorite that I have.
